SNL tackles Donald Trump, Al Franken, and Roy Moore allegations using Santa

'It’s not really a naughty list, it’s more of a registry'

Saturday Night Live may have forgone featuring any guests doing political impressions, but the comedy show still tackles one of the week’s biggest stories.

During the opening scene, Kenan Thompson dressed as an American mall Santa, asking children what they wanted for Christmas.

“Could I get a Mega Bloks Dinosaur,” says the first child. “And, can you tell me, what did Al Franken do?”

Unsure how to explain the news Franken resigned from the Senate following sexual misconduct allegations, Santa turns to a helper elf, played by Kate McKinnon: ”Can you take the Al Franken thing, sugar plum?”

"No," she replies. "And in this climate, can you just call me Amy?"

After Santa says Franken would be on a naughty list, the child then asks which list Roy Moore — who has also been accused of sexual assault yet has still been endorsed by President Donald Trump — would be on.

“It’s not really a list, it’s more of a registry,” answers McKinnon.

After shooing off the first child, a young girl comes forward with a follow-up question regarding whether Trump would be on the naughty list.

While Santa attempts to keep things apolitical, McKinnon buts in “19 accusers, Google it” referring to the woman who have made sexual misconduct allegations against the President. Watch below.

The sketch finished with another girl coming forward and asking for things just to be OK, the elf answering they would be “in three years, 42 days and 24 minutes.”

Saturday Night Live has spent much of the last season lampooning Trump, bring guest star Alec Baldwin back to impersonate the President. Last week, the show even took to mocking UK politicians, Theresa May making a rare appearance.
